black Instagram messages
Thousands of Instagram users across the US, UK, and many other regions reported bugs on the popular photo-sharing app this week.
While trying to read a direct message from another user, many reported that the message is black.
A strange black box appears above the message, making users unable to read the text at all.

Turn your phone into dark mode
Instagram users have found that switching your phone to dark mode will make your DMs readable again.
If you’re on an iPhone, do so by heading to Settings > Display & Brightness > Darkness.
Now, your Instagram screen will be black instead of white, but you will be able to read your messages.
In a few hours, you’ll be able to get it back into light mode as Instagram should have fixed the bug by then.
